On Monday, March 2, students in grades 6–12 from Battle Lake and Henning had the privilege of hearing from Kevin Hines — a best-selling author, global public speaker, and award-winning documentary filmmaker with an incredible story of hope and resilience. He has dedicated his life to sharing his story and helping others find reasons to #BeHereTomorrow — and every day after that. Kevin reminded us that “if you don’t see beauty in the next person you meet, you’re not looking hard enough.” His message serves as a powerful reminder that life is the greatest gift we’ve been given — cherish it always.

Battle Lake Junior, Claire Kraemer, recently represented her school and community as a member of the Minnesota Music Educators Association (MMEA) All-State SSAA Choir. Claire participated in the choir’s final performance of the 2025–26 season on February 14th at St. Michael–Albertville High School, performing five selections under the direction of Conductor Dr. Adrianna Tam.
